Summary

Practice-oriented with academic foundations

I have been working for over 35 years with successful organizations and the people who make them successful. The value and value creation of people in organizations is the framework of my strategic, holistic, and integrative perspective. Through my work at all management levels, I have successfully implemented a wide range of strategies with my clients, both strategically and functionally. I combine current academic and innovative business approaches.

Based on my own experience as a manager

My consulting is based on my own experience in senior management of international organizations, which allows me to understand the motives of top managers. With several years of experience, I know what it means to develop strategies and to implement them in organizational change processes.

From idea to realization

My consulting starts with strategic questions and can go all the way to implementing the chosen solution. For an international service company, I was responsible as a member of the management board for defining the corporate strategy, then for the marketing and sales strategy, and for implementation as interim marketing and sales manager.

Business development and sales

My career is marked by business and market development and sales. As a business manager, for example, I built a training company with a revenue volume of fl. 6,500,000 over three years. As a training consultant, I also generated annual revenue of over fl. 1,000,000. As interim CEO, I was responsible for closing a contract worth over €100 million.

International engagement

In my view, the success of my clients determines my success. Therefore, the network of long-term and potential clients is my guarantee for my and your success. Over the years, I have built a strong international network of cross-industry contacts. My commitment is reflected in long-term engagements in various strategic development processes of an organization, consisting of multiple strategic tasks lasting several years.

Communication from an international perspective

Besides hard facts and complex strategic analyses, communication skills at all levels of an organization and diplomatic tact are examples of my strengths. I bring an international perspective to my consulting assignments, based on my collaboration with people in a global environment.

Achieving goals successfully together

My leadership style is participative, giving managers and employees the decision space they can handle depending on the situation. The foundation is that every professional creates added value based on their area of expertise or leadership. Goals can only be achieved successfully together when the potential of professionals is used and further developed through continuous learning. I expect a high level of commitment and trust from professionals and myself, with collaboration as a core competency. My role includes setting the direction, guiding, and making relevant decisions when needed, based on a positively critical attitude.
